In this survivor-focused workshop, Jungle Flower will lead writing exercises to help participants identify the negative commentary of the inner critic and practice self compassion, which is said to be the antidote to shame. This is followed by a trauma-informed lovingkindness meditation to help participants discover their own personalized lovingkindness phrase on their emotional needs.
